As concerns the securities of my
brother-in-law,[3]
which my wife ought to have
likewise given over to you, please do kindly leave them be until their situation has
been clarified. If the papers should
mature,[4]
please sell them and take German
currency.
I am sorry to give you so much to do and I am honestly grateful that you were
so kind to offer your help with these matters. I hope you and your wife have a nice
and satisfying trip to Europe behind you. We are doing quite well, peacefully at
work here in our old home. I hope and I am convinced that your influence on the
Zionist developments will be a beneficial one, since you are specially suited for
bringing about a mutual understanding among the different groups and helping
guide the entire enterprise onto healthy economic and political paths.
Cordial regards to you and your wife, yours,
A. Einstein.

and the commitment with which all the actors subordinated themselves to the spirit
of the piece.

heightening of the suspension
forces.[1]
The two induced coils have to be connected
not through a self-inductor but a capacitor in order to get a steep force
curve.[2]
